* 11-bar intro

Key:
M: Male singer
F: Female singer

F: Far away,
You seem so far away
When it was only yesterday
That you were oh, so close to me,
M: So close that every sigh
Was like the whisper of a lover's lullaby,
The way the ocean hugs the edges of the sky,
As close as we could be,
F: But now you're far away, so far away.
You're like a distant star away,
And even though your hands could touch me if they tried,
When love has died, what more is there to say?
M: I only know you're so far away.
F: You're long ago, so far away,
Far away, so far away.

* 16--bar trumpet solo, lead female vocals "ooh" in second half

F: But now you're far away, so far away.
You're like a distant star away,
And even though your hands could touch me if they tried,
When love has died, what more is there to say?
M: I only know you're so far away.
F: You're long ago and oh, so far away,
M: Oh, so far away.
F: Far away, so far away.
Far away, so far away.
